Microsoft continues to contribute to Open Compute Platform (OCP) to enable a new hardware development model for community based collaboration. Microsoft’s recent Project Olympus platform disclosure is the architecture that will power Microsoft’s Azure hyper-scale cloud infrastructure. By contributing the platform specifications other organizations can leverage it for powering their own infrastructure.

Cloud computing is growing at an exponential pace with an increasing number of workloads being hosted in Microsoft’s Azure global cloud infrastructure. Designing and operating such large infrastructures requires not only significant investments in datacenters, servers, networking and operating systems, but also investments to drive higher efficiency and lower overall TCO for emerging workloads such as AI/ML. This talk will provide an update on Project Olympus, Microsoft’s OCP contributions, and the future infrastructure innovations.
